Okay, I know this is going to sound really stupid/silly, but /r/seduction (http://www.reddit.com/r/seduction) has some interesting ideas on becoming more confident and stuff. Yea it's primarily focused on the whole 'pickup game' or whatever, but I think a lot of the things they talk about could help getting over any anxiety. Like one thing being to talk to everyone you can, like if you were in line waiting to checkout, in an elevator with random people, etc, the theory being that the more you do this the less awkward and nervous you'll feel about the whole experience. I've been trying to do this more lately (my anxiety is pretty bad) and i'm already finding it a bit easier to just strike up a conversation with people.
